We're back. Solan and I went to visit my Mom in good ol' hometown of Corpus Christi, Texas. Unfortunately, we didn't go to the beach since it was raining almost every single day. Oh well. But Solan did go swimming in his very own pool. He loves the water.

We also did some walking along the sea wall. The sea wall is basically a huge, man-made wall overlooking the Corpus Christi Bay. You may ask, "what happens when hurricanes come your way?" "Well, we pretty much just board up the windows, get some shelter, and make sure the cows are tied good," said in a cowboy-just-walked-off-the-ranch accent. Hopefully, one won't be coming to Corpus anytime soon.

I'm a doula. So I have a Mama, my friend Claudia, who is about to have her wee one. I'm so excited to be part of their birth. I was at their beautiful abode yesterday teaching them a class on labor support positions. I have a feeling this wee one will be making an appearance very, very soon.

I have been so busy with dance rehearsals. I'm feeling pretty tired. My crafty mind is a little in the wind right now, but I am trying to complete some pants and continue with other crafty goodies.

Tomorrow, it's the 4th of July. Hopefully, we'll go buy some sparklers and have a cookout with our neighbors. I'll post some pics of tomorrow's events. Have a great 3rd of July!
